Everyone outside Manchester thinks that everyone from Manchester is like that a bit like Emmerdale or Corrie.

Looks like another heavy fall tomorrow, I have personally wrote this week off, worked today apart from one job that I had no chance of getting to.

sorry to be a kill joy but i had monday and tuesday off due to the weather and i loved it!!!  most of the year i work my nuts off so a little unexpected break was great, worked today and have work for the rest of the week weather permitting. that said i realise that some have more financial commitments than i do so sorry for you. what i dont like is having to 'phone customers to rearrange although they always understand.

Hi Guys

It's been raining for about 3 hours now but still got stuck near Brentwood on a stone drive.

My van has been really hard to control in the snow so am glad of the rain, it's virtually cleared the snow here.

Cheers
Doug

I'm going to ask a stupid question. If your liveliehood depends on driving in poor conditions might it be worth investing in Snow Chains or Similar?

You might never use them, but if you might NEED them one day.

just a thought

if your livlihood was ruined by one or two days work then theres something wrong, if it snowed everyday then snow chains would be the norm.
so yes!
stupid question ;D

Had a company van with snow chains on that broke and the wing looked a right mess that was about 18 years ago I can't really remember a snow fall like it since apart from now.

Perhaps we are reversing global warming and we don't need eco cleaning anymore??

It's called insurance derek, like jump leads, or tyre inflators, but you probably don't feel the the need for those either!

Snow chains are fine till they snap and, like Shaun says, your wings are shredded.
Used to drive a van with them fitted in my youth 32 years ago when we had snow.
